to:

* Mixed with FridgeHorror: Dr. Hirsch's investigation of the town where David was attacked and Jack killed leads him to think that the villagers have something to hide (with good reason, as one of the villagers manages to tell him part of the truth) about the wolf attack. Consider that he was a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII veteran (he mentioned fighting in North Africa during the war) and that he likely also fought/served in Germany during or right after the war (the British had one of the occupation zones in West Germany), so he likely knows all about [[TownWithADarkSecret towns with something to hide]], considering that some of the [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust concentration camps]] were located near those towns.

** How is that Fridge Brilliance? That's just a reference to another role the actress performed, with no explanation as to how it supposedly ties into this movie.

* The pub-goers appear to all be good friends, and when we cut back to them after Jack and David have left, they've ''barricaded the door''. It stands to reason that the pub-goers we see regularly gather at the pub on the night of the full moon for safety in numbers.

Added DiffLines:

* David's nightmare features him being ForcedToWatch as Nazi zombies gruesomely massacre his entire family in front of him. Judging by his age, David was likely born only a generation after UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust, making his nightmare that much more poignant.
* Jack warns David that the "power of darkness" and the supernatural are RealAfterAll, meaning there really are evil forces out there.

* David's restlessness during the "Bad Moon Rising" sequence isn't just hinting that the werewolf in him is growing eager to hunt; it's also an excuse for him to leave the front door of the flat open, so his quadrupedal were-form won't have to bust its way out. If it ''had'', Alex would have been a ''lot'' more alarmed when she got home and found her place trashed, rather than just David missing.

Nurse Gallagher's comment about having "had a look" at David's privates shouldn't have invited criticism from the others, as it'd be among the nurses' daily duties to check that the catheter remains in place.
